There is only one point in which all American Politicians,
Democrats and Republicans, agree on: Mr. Donald Trump is not prepared to be the
President of these United States (USA). Each party is hell bent to ensure that
Mr. Trump does not emerge as the Republican nominee and each party has devised
strategies to deny Trump the nomination.
Republican leadership are uniting behind the much hated Ted Cruz
in an effort to make sure that the party has a brokered convention where the
leadership would chose somebody else from “a smoke filled backroom.” Even the
usually gentlemanly Mr. Obama who has refrained from participation in the
primaries could not help but openly and often proclaiming that Trump is not a
presidential material. Other elder statesmen, McCain, Bob Dole, etc., are on
record that Trump is not the leader US should be looking for. US newspaper
editors, reporters, and commentators have declared from their pulpits that
Trump is not the man.
As if the voices of American politicians and media are not loud
enough foreign leaders who usually seem uninterested in domestic affairs of US
cannot keep their mouth shut and have often very undiplomatically showed alarm
at the prospects of a Trump presidency. Usually tepid British Parliament in one
of the recent Q&E periods unloaded their anger on Trump asking that he be
barred from Britain even before he is nominated. The Bishop of Rome came all
the way from the Papal Palace in Rome to the US/Mexican Border to show his
disgust. Canadian Prime Minister has been quoted as saying he would accept US
refugees who would flee to Canada when Trump becomes the president.
But Donald Trump keeps winning and increasing his margins of
victory, and wining in the east, west, north and south and is now more than
half way to getting the majority that would give him the nomination at first
ballot. What is more amazing is that of all the Republican candidates Mr. Trump
has most black and other minorities’ supporters who he seems to dislike so
much. He seems to be doing well with Hispanic voters who he would deport in the
first hour of his presidency. I have met enlightened Nigerians who are saying
that they would vote for “The Donald” even after he singled out Nigerians as the
worst of the “bad Africans” and who would not have a place in Trump America.
Why does Mr. Donald Trump keep winning despite opposition at home
and abroad? Why are majority of Republican grass roots supporting him? Why is
he spending the least amount of money and has no major PAC on his side and yet
he keeps winning? Why? Why? Why?
The hypocrisy of the Republicans is what is driving Trumps
success. After the Republicans have divided the nation into the poor and the
rich; between the majority and the minority; between the Jew and the gentile
(Trumps say he would be neutral in Mideast peace efforts); between men and
women; between native sons and immigrants, GOP leadership turns around and
accuses Mr. Trump of dividing the nation. The people are not as foolish as the
politicians think they are.
Trump is honest. He is rich and does not deny it. He brags about
it. He lets you know and not to forget how wealthy he is. He will help the
rich, he would pass on his wealth to his heirs without estate taxation, he
would cut the taxes for the rich, and he would make America rich again. US
needs the rich just as it needs other groups. All the other presidential
candidates are millionaires too but pretend to be “ordinary Americans” and
promise to cut taxes, to suck it up to the rich, to make it a level playing
field. All of the speeches are garbage and the grass roots know it. So they
admire the one who has levelled with them. AND vote for him.
Trump knows and feels what majority of Americans feel but are
afraid to say so. The West is living in fear of the Muslim world. They do not
want Middle Easterners in their borders. As much of Mideast is Muslim and
terrorism has been equated with Islam, Americans do not want them in their
mist. What does Trump say? Don’t bring them here until we understand their
intentions. It makes sense to the common person but to the politicians they say
the same tings but pretend that it is different. Mr. Cruz would bring them in
but would make the police to patrol in their neighborhoods. This is the same as
putting them in internment camps or in jails. Inquiring minds immediately
recognized the hypocrisy and moved over to Trump’s side.
His critics are the strongest boosters of trump for they lie so
openly and so often that the grass roots know who is who.
